Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 1

It was rare to have silence prevailed across the whole café. Allison lowered her head and was stirring the coffee in front of her nervously. The situation was awkward and the air seemed to freeze.

“First time on a blind date?” The man asked blandly half minute after he settled into his seat. His aura was too powerful that even a simple question made Allison more nervous.

Today was the first time Allison went on a blind date. Under her mother’s pressure and coercion, she came to the café they had promised earlier reluctantly and found the seat specified. She initially thought she only did it as a mere formality, yet she had not expected the man who sat opposite to her was actually Alexander Parker, the executive president of the Parker Group and also the man who influenced the whole J City!

What was worst was she had actually worked for the Parker Group as an office clerk in the administration department. Therefore it was safe to say a great person like Alexander would not recognize her, however it was too difficult for her to pretend she did not recognize him. She then stuttered out of nervousness. “Y, Yes. It’s my first time…”

Alexander glanced at her from head to toe with a cold look and continued asking, “Have you graduated from university?”

“Yes, I have.” Allison inevitably swallowed and added, “I’ve graduated for two years.”

Alexander fell into silence after he heard her reply. There was no emotion on his pretty face and he seemed very composed. Yet Allison on the other hand was suffering intense apprehension at the moment. She was wondering which divine had her mother worshipped that enabled her to get such a top class candidate for a blind date on the one hand and wondering whether Alexander had sat at the wrong spot on the other hand. Or was she the one who sat at the wrong place?

She caught a glimpse of the number sign on the table and it was indeed number 18. “Urhmm…Have you sat at the wrong place?” She braced herself and asked. “Have you brought your household register book?” Alexander asked. Both of them spoke and stopped at the same time. Allison lifted her head in shock when she heard him.
